I want to get into this game and I currently have no opponents and am playing solo ( please see solo thread too! ) in order to learn the rules.

So the question is "What do other owners of FC use to play electronically ?"

I'm aware of the ADC2 software and I don't have an issue with the Au$20.00 price tag but I'd rather download than wait for a CD that I could possibly burn myself (yes, I am impatient and I have broadband).However, I'm not aware of the 'user-base' of the ADC2 game-specific app when compared to the likes of Vassal and would not like to have paid for a nice piece of software which hardly anybody else uses.

I am assuming quite a bit here and hope to be guided in the right direction by a few other owner/players.

I'd be interested to hear from the other Aussies owners only for the fact that they are no more than +3 hours of my timezone (Perth +8GMT) and are therefore easier to set up 'real-time' matches with, but I would be equally grateful to receive comments from any region.
